Chapter 402 Huo Xingzhou is looking for someone to settle the score
Zhong Lingxiao laughed and said, "Do you want to be a more noble woman? If he dies in Haicheng, there will be no one to collect his body."
It was not convenient for him to send someone to keep an eye on her openly. It was normal for a big star like Lin Xifei to stay in a hotel.
Lin Xifei said seriously, "I understand."
If the Zhong family's illegitimate son died, then only Zhong Lingxiao could inherit the family business. As long as she could be more willing to bear a child, then she would be filled with wealth and prosperity!
So what if she is the legal wife at home? He still can't control her.
"Baby, I'm waiting for your news. I'll send you all his habits. If one day he breaks his original habits, you call me immediately."
The eldest son of the Zhong family is also a talent who has been cultivated through the elite education of the Zhong family. He is not a stupid person.
He maintained a good outward appearance and managed to get along peacefully with the illegitimate child. People in the capital praised the Zhong family's eldest son as a good-tempered man, treating the threatening illegitimate child with brotherly respect.
Generous and gentle.
A modest gentleman.
But who would have known that he hated the illegitimate son who suddenly appeared and was extremely talented to the core!
Who would really treat competitors in a friendly way?
Lin Xifei received the information and thought of Qiao Xi again and asked, "Will Madam Huo really have a bad ending?"
"Of course. After all, she is Cheng Han's apprentice!"
Just for this one thing, Qiao Xi deserves to die.
Zhong Lingxiao didn't say much and quickly hung up the phone.
Lin Xifei looked at the darkened screen of her phone and sneered. She hadn't even groveled and apologized in all these years. Sooner or later, she would have to pay back this debt.
…
Recording begins in Studio One.
Qiao Xi dressed up beautifully and sat in the studio. The host also knew her identity. The two of them had gone over the script in advance and would not ask too many questions.
The auditorium was full of audiences. Usually extras would be invited to sit there for such recordings, but there were also a few familiar faces.
The whole row was filled with members of the Liu family, and Xu Yunye was holding a mute cub in his arms.
Liu Huimin and Liu Yi sat on the other side, even Liu Zongyun and the old lady came.
When Qiao Xi glanced at them, she was a little surprised. Huo Sijiao said she saw Xu Yunye, but she thought it was only Xu Yunye.
I didn't expect the whole family to come.
The camera was pointed at her and began to debug.
"Lights ready!"
"One, two, three, push!"
The host gave an opening speech with a formal smile on his face.
The questions she asked were all about Qiao Xi's medical training, and she even asked Qiao Xi to demonstrate her pulse diagnosis in public. Both parties knew that this interview was to promote traditional Chinese medicine and expand its influence.
Qiao Xi is an excellent signboard for Haicheng, just like how the imperial capital promotes Lu Yingxue.
As the recording drew to a close, the host, influenced by the atmosphere, asked an additional question: "Growing up in the countryside, it's not easy to achieve what you have today. What do you think is your biggest regret?"
This question is not malicious.
The camera gave Qiao Xi a close-up.
She was silent for a long time, her brows slightly furrowed. She had lived through these twenty-two years, with ups and downs, but she had come through them.
There are regrets.
It was grandma's death.
Ayi's death.
Both were regrettable, but she didn't want them to become the subject of conversation for others.
Qiao Xi held the microphone in her hand, looked at the camera with a firm gaze and said, "No."
Some pains cannot be told to outsiders.
"Okay, thank you for accepting our interview. Today's interview ends here, please..." The host finished his speech and signaled the director to end the recording.
The Liu family members in the audience fell even more silent, looking at each other with a pang of sadness in their hearts.
Qiao Xi said she had no regrets.
She should be the one with the most regrets, and she clearly doesn't want anyone to know.
The recording session ended at 7pm, and Qiao Xi still had to go backstage to remove her makeup. The Liu family didn't bother her rashly; they had arrived very quietly and left in a hurry.
However, no matter how low-key the Liu family was, they could not escape the attention of those who were interested, and finally alarmed the director of the TV station.
Rumors spread quickly in a TV station. Soon, everyone in the chat group knew that the top wealthy family in Haicheng was sitting in the audience watching Qiao Xi's filming, which was enough to show how much the Liu family valued this real daughter.
He secretly laughed at Lin Xifei again, and hit a hard wall.
Don’t be too arrogant!
…
Outside the brightly lit TV station, there was a familiar Rolls-Royce parked.
After Old Chen confirmed Qiao Xi's safety at the TV station, he went to Tianyuan Group to pick up Huo Xingzhou before the end of the recording so that the young couple could go home together.
Huo Xingzhou was used to picking up his wife from get off work.
But today, Lao Chen has something to report.
"Master, I heard that the young mistress will finish the recording at 7 o'clock. She still needs to remove her makeup and communicate with the people from the TV station. She will need to wait a while. I have found some clues about the matter you asked me to investigate before."
"explain."
Huo Xingzhou sat in the car, looking a bit lazy.
"I went specifically to collect information about the young lady's childhood sweetheart... oh no, that brat." Old Chen caught his eye in the rearview mirror and immediately changed his words.
"That brat was sent to be raised by Mr. Cheng when he was seven or eight years old. It was said that Mr. Cheng had some connection with his mother. I haven't found out the connection yet."
Huo Xingzhou had known this for a long time, and Cheng Han had many secrets.
Old Chen recounted the news he had found:
"The man did fall off a cliff and was seriously injured and taken to the county hospital. Mr. Cheng went with him. Later, news reached the village that he died at the scene without medical help. Mr. Cheng said he had no parents, and that his body was cremated and only the ashes were brought back."
But dying young is not a good thing.
So he was buried simply.
Huo Xingzhou narrowed his eyes slightly. The key to this matter lay with Cheng Han. He knew best whether Ayi was dead or alive. Yet, he hadn't revealed a single detail for so many years, perhaps determined to conceal his true identity.
All he told Qiao Xi was that Ayi was dead!
How could I say one more word?
But, there is still one person!
"Old Chen, where is the doctor who was in charge of that hospital back then?"
Since he has been sent to the hospital for emergency treatment, there must be a doctor to take over.
That doctor is crucial.
Old Chen wasn't stupid either. He said, "I asked someone to check the doctor's whereabouts. He left the hospital not long after he started, saying he was going abroad for further studies. I sent someone to look for his colleagues who had entered the county hospital at the same time as him, and the news was that his family moved abroad and never returned."
"Master, this is the clue I was talking about."
Coincidence is the most suspicious thing.
"Find him out. Since he has lived in the country, there must be traces. Bring him to me. I want to ask him in person." Huo Xingzhou felt that this would not be a difficult task for Lao Chen.
The identity of the second son of the Zhong family in the imperial capital is flawless, but they can't make the life experience of the young man Ayi perfect.
There are always loopholes.
Now the loophole has been exposed.
"Yes, Master."
Old Chen responded. He suddenly remembered what happened at the TV station today and said, "The young lady had a conflict with someone at the TV station, but she didn't suffer any loss and even gave the other person a good lesson."
"Who is it?"
"Lin Xifei, the recently popular actress, is the mistress of the eldest son of the Zhong family in the imperial capital. She's always been a domineering and arrogant person in the entertainment industry. The eldest son of the Zhong family dotes on her and does everything he can to make her famous."
Old Chen found out everything clearly.
Huo Xingzhou responded softly, "People from the Imperial Capital are running wild in Haicheng. What show is she here to record?"
"It's a variety show. Let me look for it for you." Old Chen quickly found the information and handed him the phone.
Huo Xingzhou looked at it for a while and said, "Let's go and take a look."
"Okay."
Old Chen opened the car door for him and followed Huo Xingzhou into the TV station.
The young master said he wanted to go and take a look, so it must not be just a simple look!
Maybe someone is going to be unlucky!
